The time has come for Chuck #Schumer to go. His lack of resolve is going to enable Elon the #oligarch and the president that he purchased complete their takeover of the federal government. We need to let every #Democratic senator know that they should vote against this #Republican bill that cedes the powers of Congress to the executive branch.

The New York Times · Trump Live Updates: News on Government Shutdown, Federal Workers and MoreBy Carl Hulse

I was a strategy consultant for years. I did many projects for companies large and small that focused on #efficiency. If my team made half as many stupid mistakes as Elon the #oligarch’s #DOGE crew are making, we would have been fired and our reputations ruined. Mistaking Gaza province in Mozambique for Palestine’s Gaza strip, claiming to save $8 billion on a contract where only $2.5 million was ever spent, deleting so many “receipts.” This is nepo-baby incompetence.

Elon Musk, Apartheid, & America’s New #Boycott Movement

If you think mass #protests can’t combat evil, remember what we did in the 1980s.

"But #opposition movements always seem hopeless until they’re not. #Apartheid... came crashing down... We didn’t know that its heirs would be wreaking havoc on this country 4 decades later, but...

The #SouthAfrica apartheid regime was defeated. Maybe one South African #oligarch can be too"

"#Germany’s #Habeck slams ‘#tech #oligarch#Musk, calls for a #European #X" / #Twitter

I'm trying to think of a #socialmedia, founded in Germany, with a strong commitment to #privacy and #rights and already in full compliance with #German law

I think it was founded in 2016, by a computer science student at the University of #Jena... named Eubert? Imogen?

🤔🤔🤔

The mascot is a hairy elephant I think?

🤔🤔🤔

I can't seem to recall

Do you know it, Habeck?

POLITICO · Germany’s Habeck slams ‘tech oligarch’ Musk, calls for a European XBy Chris Lunday

@GossiTheDog The #oligarch has learned that on matters of technology, the public’s knowledge is extremely limited. He can just make things up and say whatever he says with a lot of swagger, and enough people will believe him because of his confidence. The fact that people who actually know what he is talking about know that he is way out of his depth doesn’t matter to him. This is how he sells FSD, this is how he sells everything else. He is a conman.

Truth doesn’t matter to #fascists.

The #oligarchy is in control of the federal government's payment systems now. That didn't take long, just 2 weeks. The #oligarchs can steal money from the Treasury directly, and the theft won't come to light because the IGs are gone. If the theft ever comes to light, blame DEI and Biden. The stage is set for robbing us blind while telling us that they are making America great again.

Imagine the outrage if Biden had given one of his #oligarch donors this same access.

“We’ve got a real issue here with, really, this emerging American #oligarch who has…no standing: The American people didn’t pick him. He didn’t run for office. Nor has he been nominated. I think that’s a huge stumbling block from the very beginning that could taint the entire process if the #Republicans aren’t careful,” Rep #GerryConnolly added.

#USpol#law#Trump

Als ich vor ein paar Jahren gepostet habe, dass ich Elon #Musk für hoch gefährlich halte, haben mich noch zahlreiche tech-affine Musk Anhänger heftig kritisiert ....

Elon Musk versucht finanzielle, politische und militärische Macht zu gewinnen ... Diese Machtanhäufung sollte so nicht hingenommen werden.

Ich bleibe dabei - Dieser Mann ist meiner Meinung nach gefährlich.

The American people are not stupid, they know that #oligarchy has broken our political system. However, #oligarch owned #CorporateMedia has been very effective at distracting the people from this core problem. As you can see here, the difference between parties is not the main story, but #NYTimes can’t resist presenting the information along partisan lines.

88% of us think that our political system is broken. 59% of us think it has been broken for decades. Let’s put that in context.

1/n

One of the things the #ChristianNationalists and #MAGA don't understand is that now that Trump go re-elected, he doesn't need them anymore. They were always just tools to get everything he wanted. He no longer needs any of their votes. He only ever pretended to be a #christian in the fakest most unbelievable act ever and they fell for it. The only group he is beholden to now is the #Oligarch and #foreigninterference class to keep power.

“Peter Thiel Reveals How Scared Oligarchs Are Of The People”

“Plutocrats like Thiel are constantly thinking about the fact that ordinary people vastly outnumber them and can kill them at any time. They think about it way more often than ordinary people do.”

Ukrainian Oligarch Maintains Innocence Ahead of Extradition Hearing Over Embezzlement

Ukrainian iron tycoon Konstantin Zhevago denied embezzling accusations ahead of his extradition hearing in France, saying his investing in Ukrainian business was proof of his innocence.

"If I had actually embezzled $100 million as I am falsely accused of doing in Ukraine, I would have parked the money abroad," Zhevago told Reuters, adding he had ploughed $500 million into Ukraine over the past five years. He also claimed that Finance & Credit was one of several banks to lose vast sums of money at the time when Crimea voted to join Russia in 2014.

Kiev requested Zhevago’s extradition in December, over the disappearance of $113 million from the now bankrupt lender Finance & Credit Bank.
